The Global Education Program (GEP) for Eventing Officials, is a component of the FEI's strategic plan for discipline development through education.
Education covers the athlete, welfare, technical organisation and training of the support network of Officials (Judges, TDs Course Designers and Stewards).
The GEP focuses specifically on facilitating and enhancing the education of Officials with the general aim to improve the awareness of Risk Management while officiating / judging.
The system includes an ongoing evaluation and external verification of procedures to measure the difference of the current situation within the first five years period.
The programme has been developed together with International Eventing Officials Club (IEOC).
